While the battle between Hrithik Roshan and Kangana Ranaut gets more twisted with each passing day, one often forgets the implications this has had on their respective families, especially when children are involved. After staying mum on the topic for the last one year, Hrithik has finally opened up and revealed his side of the story. In a recent interview with Arnab Goswami on Republic TV, Hrithik spoke about how he worried this could’ve affected his kids, and had to make sure they were doing okay.

I had to sit with my children and ask them if they were getting teased in school. I had to go through all of that but I’m not the victim. I do not want to sit here and give you an impression about what I went through and how hard it was. I love that it was hard because I learnt some amazing things through my journey and those are the things that I will teach my kids.

He also added,

First of all, I am not a victim. I don’t think there is anything in my life that will make me think that way about myself. I know, and I have always known, that whatever I say can and will be used against me. I am not a confrontational person. I have never had a fight in my life – neither with a man nor a girl. Even in my divorce, there was no fight. I know that there is absolutely no grace in what I am doing right now. There is no grace in sitting here and testifying for my character and making myself sound right and good and true, and by implication, making someone else seem wrong.

We’re sure this isn’t easy for either of their families, and honestly, I’m really hoping this saga ends here!
